Chapter Index

    With a clanging sound, the head of the mutant that rushed first flew into the sky.

    Yeji Lee adjusted her posture again and lightly swung her left hand.

    The mutant hit by that left hand burst like a balloon.

    She swung the weapon again without even thinking about wiping the shards from her face.

    Every time the baton traced its path, the mutants around it flew into the sky.

    Yeji Lee thought that the flying mutant’s body parts looked like baseballs.

    It’s the bottom of the 9th inning now. Bases loaded while trailing by 3 points.

    So, if you hit a home run, wouldn’t you be able to win here?

    She thought for a moment and shook her head.

    Clear green and gray colors took shape beyond my blurry vision.

    Other dull, filthy colors of corpses caught her eye.

    Yeji Lee repeatedly swung her baton toward that color as if it were a game.

    If you couldn’t swing the baton, you kicked or punched.

    If the distance was too far, a block of rebar or concrete was picked up and thrown.

    Like a robot from a Korean typing game on an old computer, she threw and threw debris instead of cake.

    Of course, there were no significant results.

    Monsters and Freaks crawling on the floor screaming were used as shields.

    The building they toppled while waving their arms became an obstacle.

    No matter how hard and hard she threw, the debris didn’t go far.

    Rather, the fratricidal monsters and Freaks were killing more zombies than she was.

    Well, it doesn’t matter.

    Thinking like that, Yeji Lee slowly raised her head and looked around.

    Before she knew it, numerous mutants were waiting with bated breath around her.

    Yeji Lee tried to remember the name while looking at the variant, but gave up.

    It wasn’t a big problem even if I didn’t find out the name anyway.

    No matter what characteristics that mutant had, it couldn’t withstand her blow.

    Now that the blood flowing from the body was forming a puddle, even a monster could be crushed.

    She slowly adjusted her posture.

    In order not to let go of the weapon, I put a lot of strength into my hands, which were slippery with sweat and blood.

    He also planted his legs deeply into the ground so that he wouldn’t fall even if a mutant attacked him.

    And I tried hard to keep my vision spinning back and forth.

    Soon after, the mutants started running.

    Just as commanded dogs chase the blood of their prey.

    Using the blood she had shed so far as a guidepost, she ran and ran aimlessly.

    Yeji Lee encountered the variants on a small hill.

    I swung my weapon at the mutant who rushed at me first.

    Next, he threw his fist at Byun Byung, who rushed towards him.

    Then your feet. Then the hand blade. Then a headbutt.

    Anything that can be swung or struck, I tried to swing it.

    The mutants lived out their short lives without being able to survive even once.

    You have to be lucky once. If you’re lucky, twice.

    Most of the variants flew through the air after being hit by Lee Ye-ji’s carelessly swinging arm or leg.

    Considering the exchange cost, it was overwhelmingly disastrous.

    The mutant Cernut gave up his life to attack her once.

    It was okay to say that countless soldiers died because of the orders of an incompetent general.

    At best, to reduce one person’s stamina a little more.

    To make even one more drop of one person’s blood shed.

    To prevent one person from being able to rest even once.

    There is no sure guarantee that you can defeat that person.

    Yeji Lee chuckled at that fact.

    My legs are shaking. I lost feeling in my arms.

    Every time I gasped, a lump of dark red blood entered my mouth, but it was okay.

    In any case, the subway station was safe.

    Thanks to the high-ranking mutant’s foolish war of attrition, the people she wanted to protect were safe.

    If so, that was it. She had no intention of dying here anyway.

    She enjoyed the life leaving her body.

    I enjoyed the strength that built up every time I escaped like that.

    Every time the bat traced its path, the air around it swirled.

    Every time I stamped my foot hard, the surrounding area was shattered and the running mutants fell over.

    Every time I thrust my fist forward, several mutants exploded, creating a hole.

    Time passed more and more quickly.

    Blood flowed faster and faster from Yeji Lee’s body.

    Variants ended their short lives more and more quickly.

    How long has it been like that?

    Yeji Lee realized that the number of visible variants had decreased significantly.

    I could say I was lucky.

    Some of the mutants who ran blindly following orders collapsed in the flames.

    Some of the mutants who ran blindly following orders were eaten by monsters and Freaks who were desperately committing fratricide.

    Most of the half-lucky mutants who followed orders and ran blindly fell by her hands.

    “…Ouch.”

    Yeji Lee felt severe dizziness and vomited.

    Dark blood and flesh. And the things that had not yet been digested fell to the floor.

    Lee Ye-ji, who managed to get up while wiping her mouth, nauseated several more times when she saw the horrors around her.

    With pain as if her stomach was being ripped out, she vomited until nothing but gastric juice came out.

    How many more times did I regurgitate it like that?

    Yeji Lee managed to get herself together and get up.

    She was really close to death, but she didn’t think the situation was bad.

    It really was.

    She didn’t die, most of the mutants did.

    Even the mutants that were still alive would soon die.

    Although the zombies near the church bothered her, she just laughed.

    It was clear that the high-ranking mutant in Seoul was stupid.

    I don’t know what they’re after, but the troops that were supposed to fight the survivors are no longer there.

    Moreover, looking at the intelligence with which he threw zombies into the flames, there was no need to worry about the zombies near the church.

    It was the moment when Lee Ye-ji smiled, thinking that.

    “…It doesn’t make sense.”

    She felt an unprecedented sense of foreboding.

    Same as when I first met and fought with Noh Chang-hoon.

    Similar to when Kang Si-woo first showed hostility towards her.

    It was clear that an unclean relationship that she should not meet had come to her.

    The leader smiled while swimming in the air.

    Yeji Lee’s expression as she stared at her from down there was a sight to behold.

    I was so exhausted and hurt that I couldn’t do anything.

    The painful expression that the beautiful girl made just before she died was also the cult leader’s favorite thing.

    A few streams of blood flowed down his exhausted, distorted face.

    Terrified eyes stared at the leader, as if they had seen something impossible.

    The leader stared into those eyes for a while and discovered one thing.

    Yeji Lee adjusted her hold on the baton.

    The frightened eyes had suddenly changed into confident eyes.

    The idiot from the past, who had sworn never to run away, clenched his teeth.

    ‘It’s pitiful that you mustered up the will to fight at all costs.’

    As the leader thought so, he vibrated the pole in his hand.

    The bong, which contained vibrations, soon trembled and sent out sound waves.

    The order flew at the speed of sound to end Lee Ye-ji.

    Although Yeji Lee could not understand the current situation, she understood that the mutation in the air had to be ended.

    So, without hesitation, she lifted up the debris around her.

    Although my vision was blurry, it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t hit anything in the distance.

    However, Yeji Lee failed to throw the debris.

    No, to put it accurately, I couldn’t pay attention to things like religious leaders.

    Burning zombies appeared from beyond with the sound of du-du-du-du.

    The waves of zombies were threatening.

    And the waves of burning zombies were much more threatening.

    Of course, running away was a more correct choice than immediately targeting the cult leader.

    Yes, the religious leader thought, that was the more correct choice.

    However, Yeji Lee threw debris at the religious leader without hesitation.

    Although the direction was far off, it was clear what it meant.

    No matter what happens, I will kill myself.

    The leader, sick of his arrogance and recklessness, clenched his teeth.

    Then, after a while, she burst into laughter.

    Although things went a bit wrong, the operation still worked.

    Yeji Lee was worth getting even if it meant replacing all the other zombies.

    Anyway, I could collect as many zombies as I wanted from other places.

    If most of the zombies in Korea were dead, all you had to do was go to China or Japan.

    So, the leader quietly sat down on a nearby rooftop and watched Lee Ye-ji without any worries.

    Yeji Lee continued to struggle to survive amidst the waves of zombies.

    She had already lost her baton and was wading through the waves with both hands.

    But she knew it was no use.

    No matter how much she waved her arms and moved her legs, the waves of zombies wouldn’t let go of her.

    It felt like I was inside a huge green goo.

    Still, Yeji Lee couldn’t give up, so she kept moving.

    But soon the fear of death began to consume her.

    My arms got heavier and heavier. My legs became slower and slower.

    The mouth that had been breathing heavily suddenly screamed.

    The religious leader listened sweetly to the screams and waited for the whole situation to end.

    This time, the zombies were not called to kill Yeji Lee.

    The goal is to instill fear and despair into her mind and completely subjugate her.

    Fire and waves of zombies could break even the strongest spirit.

    And it was clear that this time would be no different.

    The leader chuckled as he watched Yeji Lee in a half-panic state.

    Even though there was virtually no way she could move, she was moving little by little.

    The leader briefly wondered how far Yeji Lee could go and flew after her.

    How could he have ridiculed her so much?

    The cult leader frowned as he noticed that all the zombies had already been burned.

    It was specially improved to resist heat to some extent, but it was sad that its performance was not that great.

    Well, she just had to make it better next time, so she didn’t mind.

    “Hello, Yeji Lee.”

    The leader slowly went down to the ground and said hello to Yeji Lee, who was crawling over the ashes, but there was no reply.

    If it was natural, it was natural.

    Lee Ye-ji’s appearance couldn’t be said to be good even with empty words.

    The right foot and left leg were bent in directions they should not be bent.

    The burned and tanned skin gave off an unpleasant smell of burning meat.

    It was clear that his right arm was probably seriously injured and he couldn’t move it for a while.

    So, I guess he crawls with his left arm like that.

    The leader thought briefly and then observed Yeji Lee more closely.

    She was looking for a way to survive even in this extreme situation, on the verge of death.

    Yeji Lee’s body was seen slowly but surely regenerating.

    It was also seen that that formidable strength had not gone anywhere.

    The leader was both disgusted and thrilled by that fact.

    With this level of strength, it could have been the only card that could defeat Kang Si-woo.

    So the leader vibrated the baton to make her despair one last time.

    The buzzing, resonating bong neatly pulverized the building that Yeji Lee was heading toward.

    In that building where the entire second floor was blown away, there was nothing where Yeji Lee could hide.

    The leader opened his mouth to tell the truth, but couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

    “Ahaha, ahahaha!!! Did you… come all this way to commit suicide?”

    There was no answer, but the religious leader was sure of that fact.

    This building was where she had her butlers collect gas cylinders.

    I don’t know how it didn’t explode, but it didn’t really matter.

    “The place I desperately crawled to for tens of minutes was a dry place. It’s really sad.”

    “…I don’t know.”

    Yeji Lee neither specifically denied nor confirmed what the religious leader said.

    This was the result of being obsessed with the idea that I had to somehow go to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

    Well, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Gyeongbokgung Palace or the building with the square mark drawn on it, since they are both the same square.

    Thinking like that, Yeji Lee desperately moved her body again.

    If the end was obvious anyway, it would have to take some time.

    If you threaten to commit suicide, you’ll be able to bide your time against that damn mutant.

    She thought she would somehow buy time for the survivors to evacuate, but then she realized one thing.

    The sight of the mutant staring at her was quite familiar.

    Yeji Lee, who was on the verge of death, managed to remember that the variant resembled the cult leader.

    Shocked by that fact, she opened her mouth blankly.

    “You… could it be… that you became a zombie…?”

    “Zombies. Could you please correct me and say I am a higher being?”

    “…Crazy bitch.”

    The leader laughed and allowed Ye-ji Lee to crawl towards the gas tank.

    In her opinion, Yeji Lee never had the courage to commit suicide.

    She, struggling to survive somehow, is going to die here?

    The leader thought that his chances of defeating Kang Si-woo on his own were higher than that.

    So the leader approached Yeji Lee to mock her.

    He even deliberately dragged her with the end of the pole and brought her to the gas tank.

    Bring me some pieces of wood that are still on fire.

    I even sat down next to her on purpose.

    Yeji Lee did not react at all to that fact.

    I just sighed heavily and stared at the leader.

    The cult leader felt slightly displeased with that fact, but ignored it.

    Anyway, just a little longer and Yeji Lee will be hers.

    Then go ahead and tease him more and treat him like a toy, then stop.

    So the leader didn’t care and mocked her.

    “ character. Do you think now is the right time to move on to Donggui?”

    “…Crazy bitch.”

    “But think carefully. You are on the verge of death, and I am fully prepared.”

    “…”

    “And this body is a heat-resistant body that can withstand fire well. Well, it’s not immune, but.”

    “…I don’t think my tongue was that long in the past.”

    The leader read fear and fear in those words.

    I also read the inner mind of a coward filled with thoughts of not wanting to die.

    She said all sorts of things to accelerate it.

    I am the strongest variant on the Korean Peninsula.

    Zombies from other places are only inferior to me.

    Regardless of whether it’s a king or a queen, I can win them all if I’m the one I am now.

    And that I can somehow copy this body.

    After revealing all of his plans, the leader confirmed that the light had disappeared from Yeji Lee’s eyes.

    It was clear that he would probably be able to brainwash Lee Ye-ji by now.

    Turning people into zombies and brainwashing them wasn’t a bad thing, but the cult leader wanted to cause even more despair to others.

    What if an ally you thought was dead comes back just fine and then suddenly goes crazy and kills people?

    How much can people who see that scene resist their own brainwashing?

    Thinking of that fact, the shuddering leader slowly made eye contact with Yeji Lee.

    “Be mine, little lamb.”

    The leader who said that laughed as he saw Yeji Lee’s eyes become blurry.

    The brainwashing worked perfectly. At least nothing will work out like before.

    The moment the leader, who had thought that far, felt completely relieved, Lee Ye-ji spoke.

    “I’m sorry, but who are you brainwashing right now?”

    “Who did you bet on, of course it was on you… Ah?”

    “Who exactly did you bet on? Oh, you bitch…!”

    The leader pursed his lips as he looked at Lee Ye-ji holding his arm.

    Something completely incomprehensible was happening to her.

    How could someone so scared and scared, on the verge of death, act like this?

    The religious leader, who never understood that fact, resisted, but Yeji Lee’s grip was firm.

    She continued to smile while holding on to the religious leader and then spoke in despair.

    “I’m a bit confident in playing chicken, right?”

    “…Crazy bitch!”

    “This is… other people’s revenge.”

    “Well, maybe you should think again?”

    “And it’s also Yeji Lee’s revenge.”

    After Yeji Lee said that, she raised her right arm, which had just finished regenerating to the point where it could move.

    And without hesitation, he struck down the gas cylinder near the burning piece of wood.

    At that moment, gas was sprayed from the distorted gas cylinder and an explosion occurred.

    The explosion grew bigger and hit the gas cylinders nearby.

    Immediately after that, an even bigger explosion occurred and swept the surrounding area in an instant.

    A fire so intense it seemed as if it could melt metal covered the two people.

    And it’s all over.
